What's Happening?
According to the EY 2026 Mobility Reimagined Survey, trust and speed are emerging as critical factors in managing a global workforce. The survey reveals that 80% of employees who participated in international
assignments are more likely to stay with their employers, emphasizing the importance of trust in mobility functions. However, 95% of mobility functions face challenges due to regulatory and compliance complexities. Organizations are increasingly turning to automation and AI to improve mobility processes, with 72% of mobility teams scaling AI technologies to enhance speed and consistency.
Why It's Important?
The findings from the EY survey underscore the strategic importance of global mobility in talent retention and business operations. As companies compete for skilled workers and navigate geopolitical uncertainties, effective mobility programs can provide a competitive edge. The integration of AI and automation in mobility functions can streamline processes, reduce costs, and improve compliance, enabling organizations to deploy talent more efficiently. However, the survey also highlights the need for reliable data and technology platforms to fully realize the benefits of these advancements.
